STILLS;
(bro I literally HATE the third piece, and I didn’t realize how unchild-like Frisk’s Proportions were until after editing. Ugh I’m so mad.)

Freed is not a variant of Sans or Frisk—they’re their own person. They are Freedom. A lab brat. That’s filled with the will to live.

Meet the seven new frog species we just named after iconic Star Trek captains!

At the right time of year along rushing streams in the humid rainforests that stretch the length of Madagascar's eastern and northern mountain ridges, otherworldly trills of piercing whistles can be heard.
Are they birds? Insects? Communicator beeps? Tricorder noises?
No, they're little treefrogs!

Until recently, we thought all of the populations of these little brown frogs across the island were one widespread species, Boophis marojezensis, described in 1994. But genetics in the early 2000s and 2010s showed that there were several species here, not just one.
Now my colleagues and I have shown that they are in fact eight separate species, each with unique calls!
These whistling sounds reminded us so much of Star Trek sound effects that we decided to name the seven new species after Star Trek captains: Boophis kirki, B. picardi, B. janewayae, B. siskoi, B. pikei, B. archeri, and B. burnhamae.

I subtly and not-so-subtly built some Star Trek references into the paper, but probably the best one is this one:
'Finding these frogs sometimes requires considerable trekking; pursuing strange new calls, to seek out new frogs in new forests; boldly going where no herpetologist has gone before.'
— Vences et al. 2024
There’s a real sense of scientific discovery and exploration here, which we think is in the spirit of Star Trek.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that there are at least two Trekkies amongst the authors (including yours truly). As fans of Star Trek, we are also just pleased to dedicate these new species to the characters who have inspired and entertained us over the decades.
On a personal note, this marks a milestone for me, as it means I have now described over 100 frog species! I am very pleased that the 100th is Captain Janeway's Bright-eyed Frog, Boophis janewayae (if you count them in order of appearance in the paper)—she is probably my favourite captain, and I really love Star Trek: Voyager.
You can read more about the discovery of these new species on my website! You can also read the Open Access paper published in Vertebrate Zoology here.

i'm finally reading moby dick and there's a lot i didn't know about it such as that the first several dozen chapters are very funny! to me ol Call Me Ishmael has a kind of "what if bertie wooster were 1. american 2. competent" narrative vibe, although admittedly i am what one professor once called an "idiosyncratic" reader, meaning u should not trust anything i say. anyway the book i THOUGHT "moby dick" was going to be doesn't start until captain ahab finally stumps upstairs in chapter 36 and then boy does it ever, because he has I Am In A Tragedy disease and it is contagious and now everyone who was normal two pages ago is monologuing ominously in the dead of night. did you guys know herman melville is a very good writer? have you heard about this? he really knows that if you encounter someone who has you doing soliloquies you should Leave. if you encounter that person while you are on a boat in the middle of the 19th century ocean you are fucked for sure. poor starbuck is out here like "i really would prefer to be in a story about doing my Fucking Job"

and a bonus, the "definitely not sisters":
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thank you! This art is so sad in the best way! I love the idea of covering wounds with animal pelts and the song lyrics are 🤌*mwah* perfect. Also I appreciate the pelt you drew belongs to the rabbit from Moon 25! Fun fact I colored that rabbit using Dashpaw's palette (minus the dark brown, that was to bring it out as the focal point) to foreshadow his death. I didn't really expect anyone to notice, especially because it was one of the first moons with shading, but it did make me feel like an evil mastermind.
Tumblr media
It's difficult for the living and the dead to communicate to each other, but starclan cats definitely still know what's going on with the clan! So yes, Fiercestripe would have found out that she saved Thorn, but no, Dashpaw can't talk to his brothers. Dancepaw's ghost sense isn't strong enough to be able to make out any words, and Songpaw can really only see or hear Eklutna.
Tumblr media
It was a combination of both. Fiercestripe refused to sell out the fleeing she-cats, and also didn't want the farm cats anywhere near Loudclan. Part of it was an emotional "This is my home and I don't want any trace of you in it" and part of it was a pretty rational "Owlstar's an idiot and Tundrafrost only sees the best in people and there's a non-zero chance that they fall for Coal's charismatic bullshit and end up allying with them". I can say as the author that they wouldn't have, but Fierce only had a few moments to weigh her choices and she made the best decision that she could.
Tumblr media
Thank you! Can you tell I learned from old Riverspirit speedpaints? I watched them religiously as a kid.

Doylist explanation: points about how UNIT is being treated this series aside, Doctor Who is very much a family show, and children in the audience, particularly trans children, BAME children, and disabled children, need to see themselves on television in white/cis/abled/male dominated fields like science. It makes sense to have Rose Noble and Morris Gibbons at UNIT
Watsonian explanation: Mrs Flood is a space investigator sent to shut down UNIT for potential violations of child labour laws
